I was given a asus b360m-a but the guy that owned it last did not remove the USB3 front panel cable right so the end of the cable broke off and is in the socket so I can not put a new one in I have tried removing this piece but it will not come out and I feel like I am going to damage the board if I pull on it any harder does any one know a trick to remove it.

is the base still attached? that should be all you need to remove it. If you add a picture it might help show what we're dealing with

A picture would be brilliant. Kind of hard to understand what you're trying to accomplish without having a visual.

No it is the broken off end of a usb 3 cable that is stuck in the header but it is really jammed in there I am not sure what the other owner did to it it does not seem to cause any issues with the board its self just cant use that header to attach the usb 3 front panel witch sucks because this board only has 4 usb post on the back. It does look melted but that is from the tweezers and trying to pull it out

Ahh I see it now! You're not able to remove it using two pairs of pliers on either side and applying equal pressure?

Try a metal scribe - stick it in one end, then use the part of the plug attached to the board as a fulcrum to wiggle it out.

I got time to fix it at last the scribe worked best some of the plastic housing did get damaged but none of the pins did. It works 100% no issues
